Rebirth 1980: The heroine returns her prodigal son

They discussed with each other and said that Lu Beichen was probably getting rich. He actually knew the deputy director. He must have been raised by Biko, right? It was estimated that the county section chief would not be able to save him this time.

"Should Lu Beichen be the party secretary of Shipo Village?"

"I think it's 80% correct. How come Lu Beichen, who usually keeps quiet, knows the deputy director of the county? If he had told him earlier, wouldn't Chen Yongsheng have long ago..."

"Oh, I guess I didn't know him before. Didn't he go to the county now? Maybe we just met him?"

The villagers had their own thoughts, and no one cared about Chen Yongsheng's wife and daughter-in-law, who were sitting on the ground crying and went home together in twos and threes.

Lu Beichen didn't come back last night, so Zhang Guiying asked Ye Xing, but Ye Xing only said that he had gone back to the village to grind flour and that he was almost running out of flour at home.

Zhang Guiying looked at the half-bag of white noodles and couldn't help but ask.

"You use so much white flour every day, can you really make money? How expensive is white flour? Will you lose money? Have you settled the score?"

Ye Xing said while scooping out noodles.

"It's okay. I won't lose money. I can earn tuition for National Day."

Speaking of this, Zhang Guiying became even more worried. She was lighting a fire by the stove. Lu Beichen was not here. She got up early and worked with Ye Xing to prepare things to sell earlier.

"You said National Day is still young, and the school tuition is five yuan. How much food do we have to grow?"

Ye Xing just smiled and said nothing.

What to do if she doesn't go to school? She really can't take care of her two children. Besides, she thinks there's nothing wrong with going to school early. Her family will definitely not be unable to keep up with the teacher's progress during the National Day. He is now reading by himself.

Ye Xing went out to the stall before dawn. Today he left ten big buns for the children and Zhang Guiying, and asked Zhang Guiying to cook some porridge for the three of them to eat.

At around eight o'clock, Zhang Guiying woke up the two children, and the smell of rice porridge filled the room.

Hui Lin sniffed and touched her belly.

"The porridge cooked by grandma is so delicious that Hui Lin can't even sleep."

Zhang Guiying was very happy and kissed her on the little cheek. She folded the quilt and muttered to herself.

"Hui Lin, you said your mother doesn't know how to live well. How much oil does it cost to cook cucumbers? And that tofu, isn't it cheap? It's more expensive than eating fresh food."

Hui Lin helped her stack her own pillow and Lu Guoqing's pillow.

"It's delicious. That's fermented bean curd. My mother made it delicious. Grandma, didn't you eat it that day? That uncle said it was delicious."

Zhang Guiying put down the quilt and glanced at Hui Lin.

"Aren't I reluctant to eat it? I want to save it for the leader."

Lu Guoqing said, "Grandma, you can eat it. There are so many at home, so we will grab a few pieces to eat later."

While Niang San was talking, she heard something like a sound outside.

Zhang Guiying stopped.

"Hui Lin, National Day, do you listen to someone shouting outside?"

Hui Lin listened attentively and looked at Lu Guoqing.

Lu Guoqing's face was full of confusion, "Why did I hear my name being called?"

Hui Lin nodded, "I also heard my brother's name being called." After saying that, she held Lu Guoqing's hand and walked out.

The courtyard door has been opened, and Jiang Yuemei is standing at the door, talking to a man.

Zhang Guiying raised two children.

"Let's go, I heard you wrong, you are not looking for us."

Just as they were about to go back to the house, Jiang Yuemei turned back and pointed towards them and said.

"That's Lu Guoqing, that kid."

The proud expression on the middle-aged man's face suddenly subsided, and he walked towards Zhang Guiying with a smile on his face.

"Hello, aunt, I am the principal of the primary school. My surname is Yuan. I am here to see Lu Guoqing."

Lu Guoqing raised his head and his eyes lit up.

"Primary school? My dad said he wanted me to go to school. It seems that I am going to primary school."

Principal Yuan immediately laughed.

"Yes, you are a child. Your father said he would send you here. I have been waiting for you, but you never came, so I came to ask, when will you go to school?"

"What? Are you the principal? The principal of a primary school?"

Jiang Yuemei came over, grabbed Principal Yuan's hand, and said excitedly.

"Principal, I have two other children who have reached primary school age. Can they also go to primary school? My two children have learned so much and can now help the family with farm work."

Principal Yuan tried hard to pull his hand back, but Jiang Yuemei held on tightly with both hands, and with a passionate look on her face, she wanted to drag Principal Yuan to her house to sit.

Zhang Guiying finally reacted and pulled her away.

"The principal is here to celebrate the National Day, so you don't need to entertain me."

After saying that, she pushed Jiang Yuemei away and welcomed Principal Yuan into the door with a smile.

When Principal Yuan entered the room and saw the simple furnishings, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This hero is indeed diligent and frugal. He has such a good relationship with the county party secretary. His family must be in good condition, but he still lives in a house like this. It is really admirable.

"Auntie, your excellent qualities are worth learning from!"

Zhang Guiying was confused by him. What kind of tradition?

Zhang Guiying didn't know anything about Lu Guoqing's schooling, and she couldn't make any decision. She didn't dare to say anything in front of Principal Yuan, so she sent Lu Guoqing to call Ye Xing back.

Ye Xing was a little anxious when he heard that the principal of the primary school had come to his home, but the steamed buns and porridge had not been sold out yet. If he took them all back, he would not be able to sell them the next day and would have to heat them at home.

The sweet potato seller saw that she was anxious, so she took the initiative to come over and help her keep an eye on it, so that she could go home first.

Ye Xing thanked them and took Lu Guoqing home.

Not long after she left, Jiang Li came to see her. The sweet potato seller said that she had gone home. Jiang Li asked her where she lived and went directly to her home.

As soon as she entered the door and saw Principal Yuan, Jiang Li was stunned.

Principal Yuan was also a little surprised, stood up and said.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Do you know Lu Guoqing's mother?"

Jiang Li looked at Ye Xing.

Ye Xing hurried over and pulled her in.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Ye Xing looked at Jiang Li and then at Principal Yuan, "Are you related?"

Principal Yuan said.

"Yes, my sister-in-law, my brother is the director of the meat factory."

Jiang Li asked, "Why are you here?"

"Lu Guoqing has to go to primary school. I'll come and see the children."

Jiang Li stared at Principal Yuan for a while, a little surprised.

She is very clear about the virtues of her brother-in-law. He is not a bad person, but he has eyes on the top of his head. He is also the principal of a primary school and he always looks down on others. But why is he so polite to Ye Xing? He is even a little respectful.

Principal Yuan finished talking to Ye Xing about Lu Guoqing's affairs, and then stood up to leave.

Jiang Li and Ye Xing escorted him out, and he pulled Jiang Li aside and whispered.

"Sister-in-law, why are you looking for her family? I'm telling you, don't make trouble for her."

Jiang Li stared at him.

"What do you mean? Why are you so polite to her?"
